NOTE: CBS and NBC time-period ratings below are inflated about a tenth of a point by local broadcast pre-emptions for THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (aired nationally on the NFL Network). WKRC in Cincinnati carried the game instead of the CBS schedule, and WBAL in Baltimore carried the game instead of the NBC schedule. Also, the ratings below for all networks are distorted by local news pre-emptions in North and South Carolina for Hurricane Florence coverage.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.
ABC: The season finale of MATCH GAME is currently up 0.2 to 0.8, and the season finale of TAKE TWO is up 0.1 to 0.5. The night started with a CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD rerun at 0.9.
CBS: BIG BROTHER is currently up 0.2 to 1.7. The reruns are at 1.2/1.1 for the sitcoms, and 0.6 for SWAT.
NBC: Reruns at 0.5-0.6 for now.
FOX: Reruns at 0.6/0.4.
